Embeeded in IFRAME

[audrieg]

Has any one had success embedding power apps in an <IFrame>?

Hey, it is currently not supported right now but in the works. It currently doesn't work due to the login page not being able to be iframed. It currently will only work if you have already logged in to web.powerapps.com.

Thanks!

Thank you for your support

@Jamarchi - Sorry, this is not available yet. We are working on making it possible to embed and should have an answer in this quarter.

@Jamarchi - Can you please elaborate more on the scernario you want to embed an app for? This will us understand the requirements better

Hi Sarafankit

One of the things that I'm trying to do is add the google map, right now I can show a map in a app but I would like to add a direction or distance between two address, this is no possible because we need js code to do that, and I think this is not possible in this momment, right ?

Do you have any idea how can I show a map with those address in a Apps?

Best regards,

[sarafankit]

Thanks for the information. Do you need to have interactivity between the hosting page and the powerapps? Do you plan to exchange data between the two?

Regarding the maps question, I dont think Google Static Map Api supports showing directions.

I know that Bing maps has support for it. Here is a sample call:

Hi Sarafankit

Thank you for you answere, well yes... eventually I will need to do that, do you have any idea about that ?

Regarding to the second topic, I could add the map with two address and create de route, thank you for your help

Hi Sarafankit,

I too need to embed PowerApps in an iFrame.  In my case, the page in which the iFrame is generated is hosted on our site, and the behavior of that page will be controlled by the embedded PowerApp in the iFrame.  It would be nice to control elements of the host frame, but we do not need this at this time, we would control the server that generates the host page.

Let me know if you have questions.  Also, it is very possible that the host page is hosted on Azure in our case.

Thanks,

Olivier

@Olivier - Thanks for sharing the scenario, it help us understand the requirements better to make sure when we build the capability to communicate with the host we can build the right way.

I have some good news for the simple embedding experience you are asking about. We are actively working on an web player which can be embeded in an iFrame for developer scenarios. It will require some manual crafting of urls but can enable you to be succesful. I will post back on this thread once we are ready, but I am talking about weeks and not months.
